7 hours in a Crossfire!?! I had no idea there was that much realestate in the British Isles.

Sounds like a load of fun. Enjoy your new toy.

Regards

Yes pretty much one end of the country to the other

I've never driven that far before so should be interesting, I'm going to take all my cd's I've been meaning to listen to

Yes we have coffee (even starbucks), countryside and lots of rain

Did you drive in 1 day? What mpg on motorway driving should I expect do you think?

yup all done in one day! drove there, drove back with two cars, and made it back in time for work!

i got about 24 mpg on the trip if i recall correctly. US gallons of course .

every time you hit warp speed though, the fuel gauge goes down a notch.

Ybesty, I drove 1110 miles (round trip) to pick up my new 04 Crossfire starting on "April Fools Day" 2005. (Some Z owners would probably say "how appropriate".)
Had a great time "bonding" with my new car. I'm sure it will be a fun time for you. Take some photos along the way for your scrap book. (you will be glad you did).
By the way, what kind of car is that in your Avatar?
Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to SRT-6 ownership and hope you can get used to 16mpg town and 24mpg on a run like I have with my new SRT-6 Roadster that I bought after test driving car you have just bought. I am assuming you bought black coupe from Stirling previously at a branch in Kilmarnock. I prefer coupe especially in black but decided on Roadster as always wanted a convertible. Hope you enjoy the car and if you ever want to compare notes / chat about any problems then drop me a note.

Cheers
John

Hi John, yes got the car from stirling, had a lovely drive down the A1. What a fantastic car. Do you know much about this car
When i picked him up the ABS LIGHT was on, the steering wheel was not straight and if that wasn't enough the was a very slight winding coming from the rear wheel bearing, so booked him in at the merc/chrysler for the ABS light and a health check, They done the light, sorted the geometry out and put new wheel bearings on all under the warranty,
